Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 08, 2022

I’ll insert a large bore IV so you can mainline it faster, Aunty.

My mother-in-law was so ugly, they always put her first in line…

I never got into the coffee shop thing. My wife does it occasionally, mostly at airports while we are “right there” and are waiting for a plane. She does not go out of her way to frequent one.

However, like the time we were stuck in Des Moines waiting for the airline to DRIVE a part down from Chicago to fix our airplane we ran up a $100 bill at the bar instead.

I know it’s meant as a joke, but Aunty has identified an issue facing us all today; the “my desire or need is greater than your desire or need” syndrome, especially about inconsequential things like who gets a cup of coffee first. I may really want a cup of coffee, but I’m willing to wait my turn. To me, it seems as if a lot of people have been so consumed about what they want, that they cease to consider anything beyond their instant gratification. Regrettably, it has become all to often to learn of someone being killed or injured because they didn’t get enough catsup packages or duck sauce to suit them. In some fashion I think it was typified by a t-shirt I saw which stated proudly, “I got mine, sorry about you.”

Sorry for the rant.

My life is simple – wait your turn or you will get a turn – inside out.

I prefer tea. Earl Grey. Hot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2IJdfxWtPM

Aunty you wouldn’t like the triage system. They would black tag you.

And the toe tags could become a fashion thing. Punch card with a string.
